asked - who names new roads?

All too often it is the marketing staff of building firms, leading to
road names which are intened primarily to make the houses there sound
more attractive to the least intelligent customers.

I'm not sure that's the case. The builders often give developments such
fancy names, which are then ignored by the council with much more
prosaic names.
